Bright Green Fireball Streaks Across Mid-Atlantic Sky

In the early hours of a September morning, the mid-Atlantic sky briefly became something more than darkness — a bright green fireball traced a path over Maryland and New Jersey, witnessed by many and captured on camera. Such moments remind us that the boundary between the ordinary and the cosmic is thinner than we imagine, and that the universe occasionally announces itself without warning. Events of this luminosity and reach rarely pass without scientific consequence, as the same skies that startled sleepers may soon guide researchers toward fragments of another world.
